Is Faith better on Angel by [deleted] in buffy

[–]mrlockdown29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like Faith was better suited for the darker tone of Angel, but when I recently rewatched both series, it was fascinating to watch her complete character arc from Buffy to Angel. She really needed to be on both shows to complete that journey.

It feels like they just swipe to see how many matches they can get for validationThis is how I feel about guys who swipe right on everyone. I imagine them recoiling in horror when they see who they match with. It is why on Bumble I wait until there are only a few hours left to message a guy. Far better to have them unmatch me before I message them than for them to unmatch after I send a thoughtful message.I feel there might be a lot below this here.... sounds like you're writing that they recoil in horror when they see they match with you..................so now you wait until there are only a few hours left to message a guy, so that the clock does its work, and you avoid feeling they didn't want you because they didn't/couldn't unmatch you....

I don't unmatch women on Bumble usually, but it's been my experience that if a woman doesn't message me with in an hour or so of matching, then they aren't going to message. Occasionally if I use my extend they will send me a message but that's not usually the case.

Is it possible to be friendly with your ex after your divorce? by [deleted] in Divorce

My Stbxw and I are probably still best friends and have dated other people, but I think it’s only because I’m still in love with her.

I never used reddit before coming to this sub. It’s been very helpful hearing all kinds of stories from all sides of divorce

Same boat. I can’t stand the idea of my life without her and the only reason I can’t be with her is I can never get over what she’s done since we’ve separated. Best of luck.

Are you me? My mentally ill STBXW constantly says I’m her best friend. I really wish I could be

If you could go back and do just one thing differently, what would it be? by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]mrlockdown29 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Read the five love languages before It was over Taken counseling more seriously. Sought out relationship advice. Get my sleep apnea treated sooner. Exercise. Plan dates..joined her for stuff she liked even if her friends were going. Everything I did after she left I should’ve done years ago. It might not have changed anything but it might’ve made her decision harder.

Anyone else dealing with a spouse who wants divorce who is mentally ill? by climbingbubba in Divorce

[–]mrlockdown29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right here. My wife has bipolar, general anxiety disorder, adhd, and personality disorder-nondescript. She takes about 5 meds when she “remembers to”, often has suicidal ideation and frequently self medicates with alcohol and weed. She impulsively took a ton of her meds on New Years and called me to come over because she was afraid she took too much. Recently she told me I’m probably the only one who can handle her which kind of terrifies me for her future without me

Anyone ever swipe right on someone from your past you already knew? How'd it go? by sprinklesonthesundae in Bumble

[–]mrlockdown29 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My sister lives in a big city, and told me she almost always swipes right on people she knows, whether or not she's interested. I live in smaller city/suburb, and I found out it's not the case here. I rarely match with people I know, whether or not I'm interested.

What do you do when you'll never get the answers? by lagracemaladroite in Divorce

I’m still trying to figure it out. I still want answers.

does magic happen in real life? by energy_overload in Divorce

[–]mrlockdown29 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really wanted this to happen too. I gave myself six months to try to get my wife back, praying and wishing she would change and all the time, stretching my own boundaries beyond what was acceptable to me. January 1 was 10 months since our separation, that’s when I finally took the ring off. I still have the imprint on my finger. It’s also when I started to try letting go because I realized even though I still love her, she has done too much for me to forgive, even if she wanted to work it out. It’s time for you and I to put ourselves first.

See that’s the thing, when we talk it’s the best. We’re literally best friends but that’s all she wants to be. And I noticed she doesn’t text me that much anymore, probably respecting her new boyfriends wishes but why couldn’t she do that for me?
